Clark should fly high<br />
A welcome development, it is, the report<br />
that Clark International Airport (CIA) has<br />
been named third best airport zone in the<br />
world. This recognition is even sweeter to<br />
note that the body that gave the Clark Airport<br />
such distinction is the FDi magazine<br />
published by the London Financial Times<br />
Group.<br />
Being an authority in assessing business<br />
viabilities, FDi’s ranking of CIA further<br />
boosted Central Luzon’s bid of having<br />
the airport in Clark being declared as the<br />
country’s premier airport.<br />
This ranking by a world-wide and respectable<br />
organization should convince<br />
Malacañ<strong>ang</strong> that it is high time that it<br />
poured all its effort to develop CIA and its<br />
environs. This recognition is a total opposite<br />
of a recent survey where the Ninoy<br />
Aquino International Airport (NAIA) in<br />
Pas<strong>ay</strong> City ranked high among the worst<br />
airports in the world.<br />
With NAIA becoming a notorious port<br />
that shoo aw<strong>ay</strong> prospective tourists and<br />
investors, the government should now<br />
start to focus its energy in developing other<br />
airports—and CIA is the nearest option<br />
that the government has.<br />
It is a pity that the government remains<br />
stagnated in searching for solutions to the<br />
growing pains of the land-locked NAIA,<br />
which can no longer accommodate large<br />
aircraft as it does not have any room for<br />
expansion.<br />
The recognition of FDi magazine is a<br />
sort of pat on the back of Clark International<br />
Airport Corp. president and CEO<br />
Victor Jose Luciano, who had been looking<br />
for w<strong>ay</strong>s to entice the national government<br />
to take advantage of the airport’s full<br />
potential. This is a strong and convincing<br />
factor that should shake awake the people<br />
of Malacañ<strong>ang</strong> into allocating more funds<br />
for the Clark airport.<br />
If this recent development will not move<br />
Malacañ<strong>ang</strong> into action, then Clark, which<br />
is already taking off towards new heights,<br />
has no other w<strong>ay</strong> but down.<br />

“ This is apart from the throngs of<br />
people going to capitol everyd<strong>ay</strong><br />
asking for financial assistance for<br />
indigents’ medical needs.”<br />
In a show of great concern to her constituents,<br />
Governor Lilia “Nan<strong>ay</strong>” Pineda<br />
has been alarmed by the continuous rise<br />
of <strong>dengue</strong> cases. Who wouldn’t be with<br />
the record of less than 2,000 confirmed<br />
patients at the Jose B. Lingad General<br />
Memorial Hospital (JBL)?<br />
***<br />
Now that we are on the season of rains<br />
and floods, we are on the <strong>dengue</strong> season,<br />
too, thus crowding hospitals with patients<br />
afflicted with <strong>dengue</strong>.<br />
***<br />
There are patients who have no rooms<br />
to st<strong>ay</strong> in our public hospitals, forcing<br />
them to st<strong>ay</strong> at hallw<strong>ay</strong>s of our medical<br />
institutions. Mosquitos propagate their<br />
numbers rapidly, they propagate their<br />
number of <strong>dengue</strong> victims, too.<br />
***<br />
The number of individuals who are<br />
infected with the <strong>dengue</strong> virus for this<br />
year is much greater than that of last year<br />
in Pamp<strong>ang</strong>a. There were a total of 878<br />
<strong>ang</strong> susunod. Mag-apura, kumilos para<br />
<strong>hindi</strong> mabiktima. Ano k<strong>ay</strong>a <strong>ang</strong> dapat<br />
gawin? Hindi mo ba nabasa iyong nasa<br />
itaas? Nabasa, pero iyon l<strong>ang</strong> ba? Marami<br />
pa.<br />
Hanapin at wasakin<br />
<strong>ang</strong> tirahan ni Dengue<br />
Mosquito. Maaaring iyan<br />
<strong>ay</strong> nasa likod ng bah<strong>ay</strong><br />
mo. Nasa harapan, nasa<br />
tagiliran, nasa loob ng<br />
bah<strong>ay</strong> mo mismo. Basta<br />
maghanap ka kuya.<br />
P<strong>ang</strong>alawa, kung mataas<br />
<strong>ang</strong> lagnat, huwag k<strong>ang</strong><br />
magdokdoktor-doktoran at<br />
uminom ng gamot na kung<br />
ano-ano. Magpunta ka sa<br />
pinakamalapit na klinika<br />
o pagamutan. Pasiyasat<br />
mo <strong>ang</strong> iyong dugo. Ipagawa<br />
mo iyong tourniquet.<br />
Iyon b<strong>ang</strong> iipitin ng goma <strong>ang</strong> balat mo.<br />
Kapag sa il<strong>ang</strong> sandali, <strong>ay</strong> nagkaroon<br />
ng pantal-pantal na maliliit <strong>ang</strong> iyong<br />
balat, m<strong>ay</strong> rashes ka. Suspected <strong>dengue</strong><br />
iyan. Huwag magpatumpik-tumpik,<br />
magpatingin agad sa ekspertong doctor.<br />
Bakit naman expert pa? Hindi kasi lahat<br />
ng doctor <strong>ay</strong> san<strong>ay</strong> diyan. Baka bigyan<br />
ka l<strong>ang</strong> ng medicol o paracetamol,<br />
pat<strong>ay</strong> k<strong>ang</strong> bata ka. Kasi <strong>ang</strong> <strong>dengue</strong> <strong>ay</strong><br />
nawawala sa pamamagitan ng pag-iin-<br />
recorded <strong>dengue</strong> cases in the province.<br />
More than double compared<br />
to that of last year.<br />
***<br />
Record of fatalities is<br />
higher for this year so said<br />
Leonita Gorgolon, regional<br />
director of the Department of<br />
Health-Center for Health and<br />
Development III. There were<br />
deaths, mostly children, in<br />
various towns in the province<br />
who succumbed to the deadly<br />
<strong>dengue</strong> virus.<br />
***<br />
Last Mond<strong>ay</strong>, Governor<br />
Pineda called on Mond<strong>ay</strong> the<br />
municipal m<strong>ay</strong>ors of Pamp<strong>ang</strong>a<br />
including medical doctors<br />
and municipal health officers to discuss<br />
issues and concerns on the <strong>dengue</strong> outbreak.<br />
Measures were discussed how to<br />
combat <strong>dengue</strong>-carrying mosquitos. Local<br />
officials are now at war.<br />
***<br />
With her great concern for the health<br />
of her people, Governor Pineda is wasting<br />
no time in the war against <strong>dengue</strong>.<br />
***<br />
In furtherance of her giving priority to<br />
the health of Kapamp<strong>ang</strong>ans, Governor<br />
Pitik-Bulag<br />

Pineda reiterated her order to the chiefs<br />
of district hospitals on the capitol’s<br />
commitment to shoulder<br />
all medical expenses of <strong>dengue</strong><br />
patients. This is apart from the<br />
throngs of people going to capitol<br />
everyd<strong>ay</strong> asking for financial<br />
assistance for indigents’<br />
medical needs.<br />
***<br />
The prevalence of <strong>dengue</strong><br />
inside the human body can<br />
be traced through body temperature<br />
according to Provin-<br />
cial Health Office (PHO) Chief<br />
Marcelo Jaochico. He suggested<br />
that thermometers be distributed<br />
among public schools<br />
and teachers be taught on how<br />
to get signs of <strong>dengue</strong> infection. Bright<br />
idea.<br />
***<br />
Jaochico likewise reminded everyone<br />
the existence of express lanes intended for<br />
<strong>dengue</strong> patients. The express lane is set<br />
up to give immediate treatment to <strong>dengue</strong><br />
patients. Aksyon agad!<br />
